Where Were the X-Men During the Avengers: Endgame Battle Against Thanos?

Introduction to the Franchise Transition

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the X-Men characters primarily exist within a different continuity, primarily represented in the Fox film series. This distinction is crucial to understanding their absence during the pivotal Avengers: Endgame storyline.

As of March 2019, Disney's acquisition of Fox led to a significant transition for the X-Men franchise. Speculations surrounding their eventual integration into the MCU abounded, but as of August 2023, specific plans for their introduction have yet to be fully detailed. The X-Men as we know them in the MCU have yet to appear, raising questions about their role and existence in the grand narrative of the MCU.

Location of the X-Men in the Filmverse

Instead of joining the Avengers in the battle against Thanos, the X-Men were in a separate domain known as Fox World. In this universe, characters like the Fantastic Four also reside. While there is a portal between MCU World and Sony World (used by Spider-Man), no such connection has been established between Fox World and the MCU as of the end of Avengers: Endgame.

Both Fox World and Sony World are now part of the Disney Galaxy, but the absence of a direct link between these realms means the X-Men remained isolated from the main narrative.

Speculations and Possible Integration

The simplest answer to the query is that the X-Men were not present in the battle against Thanos. As of 2023 and in Earth-199999, the X-Men do not exist, and mutants are not an established type of hero in the MCU. However, Marvel fully plans on incorporating the X-Men into the MCU eventually. How they will do so and when remains a matter of speculation.

A common hypothesis is that the X-Men will be introduced in a straightforward manner, perhaps through a post-credit scene. This could involve scenes with Wolverine's claws or Professor X assembling a team of mutants. Such an origin story would align with the cultural shift seen in connecting different parts of the MCU.

Another possibility involves tying the X-Men to a different universe. The current MCU is known as Earth-199999, but recent developments in the main films and TV shows have delved into timelines and multiversal concepts. Incorporating multiple universes could offer a unique narrative avenue. However, such an approach would need to balance the introduction of complexity with maintaining narrative coherence.

Personal Opinions and Future Prospects

While the inclusion of the X-Men in the MCU holds significant potential, opinions on their integration vary. Some fans welcome the idea of additional diversity and power, while others express concern over potential overshadowing of established characters. Personally, the author is indifferent to the X-Men being in the MCU, recognizing the potential impact they could have.

Interest aside, the X-Men's eventual debut in the MCU remains a highly anticipated event, and fans eagerly await more details about their integration. Whether they are introduced as new characters or elements from a different universe, the X-Men's arrival promises to bring new dimensions and stories to the established narrative of the MCU.
